It's Sunday - time for confession Father

[Barrykearley]

All back together - I fking hate cars......

cant get the clutch pedal to feel nice and stay feeling nice. Bled system have had slave on and off three times. You get a decent feeling clutch pedal - a few operations and it's sh!t again. Ho hum - new slave and master cylinder it is then....

i reckon the new clutch pressure plate has played havoc with the master cylinder. The slave seems to work - then the more the pedal is worked the less and leads travel on the slave. Fluid looked proper grey and horrible when first bled out.

anyone know the slave and master cylinder replacements - I'm sure the slave is a landrover thing

This is the slave cylinder I usually buy, but I believe you need an adapter for the hose!

I re-use the same adapter so can't remember what it is.

So - robbed from another thread I need a 3/8 UNF 24 tpi Male to 7/16 UNF 20 tpi Female adaptor.... to make the land rover one work

Here's what's on there now - does this look like it's already a landrover unit ??

Cant tell from the photo, but the LR is generally aluminium

Cheers Andy - the master cylinder is that a Land Rover s3 unit?? I'd rather swap both - I'm more convinced it's the master causing the issue 

[punky]

Sorry mate, no idea about the master cylinder. Never changed mine.

I bought that land rover one and it failed about 1 day after fitting. I just refurbed my stupidly heavy Girling one. The seller of the LR slave never issued me a refund either.

I have the master cylinder SJ sells and that one is working just dandy.

Mine's an S2 Land Rover slave, cast iron body. £15 from a local motor factor, has been working a treat for about 3 years.

[Barrykearley]

Slave, master and three bottles of syntrans now sat awaiting some of my time.....

[eeyoreish]

Sounds like a dodgy night in.  I won't ask which part you're playing...

 

[Barrykearley]

Master cylinder fitted. 

The old one didn't look terrible - expected a knackered seal - looking down the bore it looks clean but has a small area with two ripples and what looks like some porous spots...... so I'm kinda hoping that's the fault. Some nasty black shite in the bottom of the pot.

slave - well that looked just dandy - I have a new one to go on though - but need an adaptor for it to fit. Will swing past the tractor repair shop tomorrow and get one.

drained the system out - now bearing in mind I put in about 1/2 litre the other day of new brake fluid to try and get it working - filled a small drain pot with the fluid - looked like Pepsi !!!

Don't tell me; she never returns your calls.

[Barrykearley]

If she did - I'd be too busy to post on here 

well today - I have had some spare time. Did I rush to the garage - nope.

Got 6 part worn chickens from a local shed for the missus, cut the grass, fixed the topper, cut some more grass, burnt some rubbish at the barn and tidied up, ordered some radiators, some rad valves, went to screwfix to get some tile adhesive, played mario with the youngest. Everything to actually avoid going near the bitch of a car.

finally at just after 6 tonight - I could avoid it no more. Slave back on, bleed, bolt back into place, swift bleed again. 

All is well - trip to pick the eldest up from swimming - back in the game...

 

I'm in love all over again..

[swindon_alan]

Exhausts pointy in the parallel to the ground plane now as well? I bet the front number plate has been adjusted to compensate...

Well done Barry. Great news mate!

PS what the **** are part worn chickens? Did they only succumb to several of your desires and not the full repertoire?

Hens that have done a year of egg laying. After 52 weeks of laying the egg yield goes down due to impending moult. The rspca stopped farmers "force moulting" some years ago - they used to turn the lights off for a couple of days and withdraw food and water - they then lost feathers and after a couple of weeks where back into lay for another year with even bigger eggs...... Now they just get hordes of Eastern European folks to catch them and off they go for processing. Feet to China, wings and legs to Africa, breasts to pukka pies and the like.

for a whole quid - you can have one of these hens - they will lay for a few more years and frankly will continue to lay until the fox ? eats them

Glad you spotted that - reckon they look better ?? It felt wrong cutting sections out of the pipes to achieve that - the sides needed to be swapped and had to get busy with the grinder. Its made a difference already to the spitting of black shit out the pipes

[swindon_alan]

I really feel well and truly educated about poultry. Thanks Barry...

Yep, the exhausts look so much better buddy. One less thing for me to take the p*ss out of...

Seriously though - the gearbox rebuild, did you do that yourself with all of the pretensioning and stuff or was that your tame UN-1 man?

[Barrykearley]

I won't take any credit for the box rebuild. It's as sweet as a nut - gave it some beans tonight and it's bloody fantastic.

i reckon the exhausts look a whole lot better - the one tip rattles like mad - have just whacked some exhaust paste on it to see if that helps - otherwise I shall find some new tips

Here's a tip. Just eight things wrong with this picture. S300/S4s/V8 wheel arch extensions and S300/S4s/V8 wheels and tyres mate...

[Barrykearley]

 don't encourage me...... just don't.

once the barns done, chicken shed is finished - I'm having some time to get the red S3 to paint and back together again. That's on the assumption this bitch doesn't break again

[swindon_alan]

You've broken so many bitches in your time Barry, I know this from your frequent late night visits to Swindon...

[Jacques]

No need to use an adapter on the clutch slave in aluminium from Landrover, Barry. It's just a matter of cutting the thread to fit the hose ifit's different to the one you have taken off. That's what i did. Less complicated, less sealings. Here's mine:

Kind regards,

Jacques.

 

[Barrykearley]

I have to confess - the old slave is presently fitted after stripping down and inspecting to be good - cleaned up and refitted. 

I will recut the thread when I need to fit it on for sure

[Jacques]

And nice colour btw!

Jacques.

This thread needs more pictures!!!!!
